Homunculus Rex -Cottage Industry is the combined output of the early-2010 to mid-2011 Homunculus Rex (HRex) lineup. This 51 minute, 5 song EP includes one hidden track and is the collective effort of the full 4 piece group, featuring co-composers Ryan Morgan (bass/guitar), Josh Sonstroem (computers/synths/controllers), Keith Garrett (computers/sampling/controllers), and Kevin Northcutt (drums/percussion).

The album recording and production took place at HR's Prima Studio in Santa Cruz, CA USA over a span of about 13 months. Each song contains a mix of certain aspects which were written/performed collaboratively and other elements that were written by one co-composer independently and brought back to the collective. This is also true of the guitar and bass riffs that form the root motifs of the tracks. Notably, this album was produced entirely utilizing two computers MIDI time-synced over ethernet, lending to the albums unique sound: a blending two distinct computer production styles -- Ambient and IDM -- layered on top of the intricacies of the live instrumentation.

To further enhance the mistique of Cottage Industry the final versions of the tracks were mixed remotely by Keith while he was traveling abroad through India and Nepal. The album was mastered by Tarekith at Inner Portal Studios in Seattle, WA USA. Album art by Anatole Shaw. Thank you internet.
